Employer and Worker Responsibilities
Interaction
Select all that apply and then click DONE. Larry, the company mail coordinator, falls behind on his mail deliveries. He tries to make up the time
by pushing his mail cart as fast as possible down the hall. Sally steps into the hallway from her office just as Larry reaches her office. Larry is
unable to stop the cart from colliding with Sally, and she ends up with a sprained knee from the impact. The current OSHA standards do not
address this type of incident specifically. Is Sally's employer still responsible?
Yes, because this type of incident falls under the OSH Act's General Duty Clause,
Yes, because Larry did not follow safe work practices by rushing down the hall with the cart.
No, because current OSHA standards do not address this type of incident.
No, because it is impossible to identify every potential hazard in the workplace.

Given the scenario, Sally's employer is still responsible for these reasons:

A. Yes, because this type of incident falls under the OSH Act's General Duty Clause,

B. Yes, because Larry did not follow safe work practices by rushing down the hall with the cart.

The responsibility of Sally's employer does not end because the accident is not specifically addressed in the OSHA standards.

At least, the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act requires employers to provide safe work environments free from recognized present or future hazards.

Thus, Larry's action is a recognized hazard that could have been prevented from happening if wider hallways are built, for example.
